Chapter 17: The Gathering of Serpents
"It's been more than half a month, where did those two people go?"
In the snake cave, Ma Buyu said to Ma Buting, his tone was full of suspicion.
A few days ago, the two followed Wan Gu Xiao into the Snake Cave, wanting to hunt down Lu Sheng through Wan Gu Xiao and dig out the secrets of Black Rock Island.
It's just that although the two of them found Lu Sheng's traces at the beginning and remembered the breath, when Lu Sheng covered it with Hunyuan liquid, they immediately lost their senses.
Originally, it wasn't a big deal. Ma Buyu put the incense of horse dung on Wan Gu Xiao's body, as long as Wan Gu Xiao started to arrest Lu Sheng, they would be able to rush quickly.
Because of this, the two have been patient and constantly searching in the snake cave.
However, what they didn't expect was that Wan Gu Xiao not only did not arrest Lu Sheng, but kept driving snakes and insects to make noise, disrupting the actions of the two.
Annoyed, the two wanted to make a move on Wan Gu Xiao, but they were dodged by the other party one by one.
After more than ten days like this, when the two of them pursued Wan Gu Xiao again, they suddenly found that the horse manure incense on Wan Gu Xiao's body could not be felt, and they couldn't help but feel bad-
Lu Sheng has already lost it, and if he loses Wan Gu Xiao, it won't make much sense for the two of them to be in the snake cave!
"Could it be that Wan Gu Xiao has already caught Lu Sheng, and these days he is playing hide and seek with us, taking the opportunity to transfer Lu Sheng away?"
As he spoke, Ma Buqi guessed. Wan Gu Xiao's movements these days are quite confusing, and he has long had this guess in his heart.
"It's possible, but it's not big!"
Ma Buting responded. Not only Wan Gu Xiao, but even he had thought several times about the possibility that Wan Gu Xiao had already captured Lu Sheng, but after thinking about it carefully, this possibility was not very big.
"Lu Sheng's strength is not weak, and he has been hiding in the grotto for more than a month. Wan Gu Xiao wanted to catch him, but it was not that easy. โ
"Didn't he kill some of the dead snakes we found along the way?"
When the two of them were moving in the snake cave, because there were many snakes and insects in the place they passed, they were manipulated by Wan Gu Xiao, and in order to prevent accidents, they almost killed the snake when they saw it.
In the process of slaughtering the snakes, the two found that many snakes and insects had been killed for gall. And there was more or less a trace of Lu Sheng's aura on it, allowing them to guess that most of these snakes and insects were killed by Lu Sheng before.
"It's a pity, this kid doesn't kill snakes these days, otherwise he would have been able to determine his whereabouts a long time ago!"
Ma Buqi sighed. The cramped and stuffy snake cave is really not a place he likes, otherwise he wouldn't have waited outside for more than a month before coming in!
"It's useless to talk too much, so let's think about what to do next?"
Ma Buting comforted. He also didn't like this place either, but now that the two of them had lost their sense of Wan Gu Xiao, if they left the snake cave now, they would be even less sure about the movement inside.
"What else can I do, I can only ......"
As he was talking, Ma Buyu suddenly saw his eldest brother make a gesture and could only stop.
Just as he was about to ask, suddenly, a "hiss" and "whoosh" sound came from his ears, which surprised him and asked urgently:
"How could it be? How could Wan Gu Xiao manipulate so many snakes?"
These days, he has fought with the snakes and insects controlled by Ma Buting and Wan Gu Xiao many times, and he has long been familiar with the sound of snakes and insects crawling. There seem to be a lot of snakes crawling this time!
"It's not like he's manipulating!"
Shaking his head, Ma Buting said. He opened his ears, his hearing was much stronger than Ma Buqi, and after listening for a while, he had already come to some clues, his expression was solemn, and he explained to Ma Buqi:
"The snakes and insects in the entire snake cave seem to be moving, converging in one place!"
"Where?" said Ma Buqiu.
"Below the snake cave, there is a place with water!" said Ma Buting. In his ears, he heard the sound of some snakes falling into the water.
"Is there water under the snake cave, is there no lava in it?" Ma Buqi said in surprise.
Blackstone Island was formed by the eruption of earthfire, which is why there are many obsidian stones on the island. In his mind, there should be lava under the mountain, how could there be water?
"There is indeed water, and there is a lot of it, like a pool!"
Ma Buting listened as he spoke, and confirmed.
"Then why are these snakes going there? Could it be that there is some secret hidden in the waterhole?"
Ma Buqi guessed.
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of a possibility, rejoiced in his heart, and said to Ma Buting:
"Even if there is no secret, as soon as the snakes and insects in the entire snake cave move, Wan Gu Xiao and Lu Sheng are likely to go somewhere-"
"Maybe we'll find them there!"
"Possibly, let's go check it out!"
Horse Walk Pavilion Road. Together with Ma Buqi, he walked in the direction where the snakes and insects gathered.
As great martial artists, the two of them are not only strong enough to deal with second-order demon beasts, but they can also release Xuan Qi to protect their bodies. As long as the Xuan Qi is endless, no matter how many ordinary snakes and insects gather in the snake cave, it will be difficult to hurt them-
This is also why the two of them still dared to go after knowing that the snakes and insects had gathered!
------------
"Hey, there is an elixir ripe, attracting the snakes and insects in the snake cave to gather!"
In the snake cave, Wan Gu Xiao, who was full of strange smells on his body, also sensed that the snakes and insects were converging, and with the Natal Yuan Gu manipulating the snakes and insects, he easily knew the reason for the gathering of snakes and insects, and he was overjoyed for a while:
"Haha! There have been several demon pythons on this island, and I have long guessed that there is a secretโ"
"The Lu family of Blackstone Island is really the medicine keeper!"
After confirming the secret of Black Rock Island, although Wan Gu Xiao knew that the Lu family must know more about the elixir, he didn't care anymore. For him, the Ma brothers are the greater threat:
"Ma Buting and Ma Buyu are both great martial artists, although Ma Buting's injuries have not healed, they are not much different from me. โ
"As long as one of the two is separated, he can drag me down, and then let the other person take the elixir!"
"So, the key is still up to you this time!"
Stroking the blue snake in his hand, Wan Gu Xiao muttered. These days, under his refining, which he spared no expense, this blue snake was finally promoted to a second-order demon beast. Even in the face of the Great Martial Artist, it can play a certain role!
This is also the biggest reliance on his trip!
------------
"Eighty years, is it finally mature?"
In the snake cave, Lu Sheng, who also felt the movement, suddenly sighed, opened his two eyes that exuded a ghostly light, and said with emotion.
The secret of the Lu family's inheritance, he already knew from the cloth of the obsidian dagger. Previously, he had wanted to sneak in from another place after leaving the snake cave and quietly take the elixir when it was ripe, but now he couldn't catch up with it in time.
"It's ripe at this time, it's not the right time!"
Thinking that he was now only a martial artist's cultivation, as well as Wan Gu Xiao and the Ma family brothers, Lu Sheng sighed in his heart, and could only make up his mind:
"Well, let's try to fight! I hope the formation left by the great ancestor is still effective!"
Although he didn't need it, for the sake of the Lu family's eighty years of waiting, Lu Sheng still decided to fight and not let it fall into the enemy's family!
